Thanks guys! But hold off on it for a bit though... Flexcalibur and I have been polishing a Scaglietti for the past 2 days and the paint doesn't take well to the heat :(. I'm going to strip it and try something else this weekend... back to the drawing board :furious:

Going to strip and respray with heat-resistant paint... Thinking of going full-Ninja... will inform!
 
Now you started something. Mine was a bit older, Makita 9207, bought in 1996.

Did mine different, polished a polisher.:buffing:

Just a quick note if you had a polisher for while you may need to re grease it, or just push the grease back into the gears. Mine had lots of grease but hardly any around the gears.

I sand it down first 80 grit up to 1500 then polished it with red and then white polishing bars. Then hit with a little English custom polish. The trick to takeing aluminum from a rough texture to polish is in the snding. The plastic started with 500 grit, up to 1500. Then buffed it with different compounds and finished it with Meguiar's plastic polish.
